ELECTRIC RANGE Odd, isn’t it—the way everybody notices the sore thumb? I t’s the same way with the retailing of beer. Everybody knows about the one undesirable place...everybody seems to forget about the thousands of worth while retailers who opierate clean, decent, law-abiding establishments. To protect the good name of beer, we of the beer industry want the few... but noticeable...“black sheep” retailers eliminated. That’s not all. Such retailers endanger an industry that brings important eco nomic benefits to the community. Right $189’ 5 here in Oregon beer provides employ ment for 13,238 persons, supports an annual payroll of $11,541,550 and con tributed $617,020.86 last year in state taxes. This state, too, has an important stake in the beer industry’s purchases—for materials, equipment, and services— from more than 100 other industries. You can help us protect these benefits in two ways—by (1) patronizirg only the law-abiding places where beer is sold and (2) by reporting any irregularities you may observe to the duly constituted authorities.
